wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A compact footprint and a stylish design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ultra Professional is taller than it is wide or deep, but has a relatively small overall footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5 rubber feet on the base help keep it securely in place and raise it a little off the work surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to mount this on a bathroom shelf, be aware you are going to need at least 30cm of clearance and the shelf needs to support around 1kg of weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clear water tank is of an all plastic construction and contrasts with the coloured body of the unit, inside which all the electronics are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are not limited to a clinical feeling white colour only, the Ultra Professional is available in the following colours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>White \u2013 WP-660<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black \u2013 WP-662<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue \u2013 WP-663<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grey \u2013 WP-667<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plastic has a matt finish rather than the gloss of some products and the curvature lines of the unit work well. Together these things make the unit look smarter. I like the contrast of the silver\/grey buttons, although they do blend in a bit with the Grey unit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4039883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_Aquarius_Ultra_Professional_1-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It needs to be plugged in<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This water flosser does need to be plugged into a power outlet.

The exact noise depends on the pressure setting chosen, but expect up to 72 decibels of sound.

A larger reservoir is one of the benefits of a countertop unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When set to the highest pressure setting of 10 the tank will drain in about 90 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the lowest setting, it lasted for around 4 minutes and 45 seconds during my testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subject to how you use it, you will likely get 2 flossing sessions out of it before it needs a refill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you do need to refill, it is simple to do so.

The more consistently you floss and the more thoroughly you cover your teeth, the more you reduce your chances of developing dental health issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A proficient user might be able to floss in as little as 45 seconds, but the aim here is that a normal flossing session should take around 1 minute. You can spend 30 seconds per arch, flossing both the outer and inner surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short pause in the water flow at 30 seconds is your signal to move between arches, and then again at 1 minute to signal that the cleaning should be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unit will continue to run without pauses until it is turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t like the pacer, it is possible to deactivate it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A grippy dial makes it easy to move between intensities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need 10 different pressure settings to get a good clean and enjoy daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, there is something quite appealing about the ability to dial in the amount of pressure and the intensity on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ranging from a very gentle 10 PSI through to a powerful 100, even I as a more experienced user tend to settle around level 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are new to water flossing you probably want to start around level 3 and adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve just undergone extensive dental work, level 1 might be best to give some sort of rinse but not apply too much force to tender and inflamed tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The textured and grippy dial makes it easy to move seamlessly between the intensities as you choose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to cordless models you have far more choice. They don\u2019t tend to offer such a low or high intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not all about power, though, technique is important as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-23.jpg\" alt=\"Power and mode buttons alongside the control dial for changing pressure of water flow on Waterpik Ultra Professional\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Turn the dial to increase or decrease the pressure of the water exiting the flosser tip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The switch and rotating nozzle are easier to use than other models<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the switch and the rotating nozzle, you are given the ability to dial in the control of your flossing session. It's quite easy compared to some other models and in particular cordless ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easy to use, the sliding switch sits proud of the rounded handle. Its textured surface is easily detected by the fingertip. It glides smoothly and makes it effortless to switch the water flow on and off as you desire. It\u2019s ideal when you need to reposition the tip to reach certain areas of the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of water control slider switch on handle of Waterpik Ultra Professional\" class=\"wp-image-4039887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Waterpik_WP660_WP662_Ultra_Professional_Water_Flosser-33-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Slide the switch between the on and off position to control water flow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interchangeable nozzles clip into the top of this handle. They can be rotated a full 360 degrees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upper part of the handle rotates. There is a ridged texture on the edge that aids with detection and grip as you move it, in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the main unit, there is a concave button that switches between the standard&nbsp; \u2018Floss\u2019 and \u2018Massage\u2019 mode, when pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selecting the massage option changes the water flow in a way that is designed to stimulate them. It is supposed to work well if you have sensitive gums and suffer from periodontal disease. I\u2019m not in a position to say whether it makes much difference compared to the standard floss mode on a lower setting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dentist-approved cleaning results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve used various interdental cleaning tools and do find a certain convenience to water flossers. I\u2019ve been impressed with the results the Professional has given. It\u2019s amazing what debris lurks in the mouth \u2014 the evidence is often left in the sink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waterpik does invest in a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterpik.co.uk\/why-waterpik\/clinical-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clinical testing<\/a>. These self-funded studies are potentially prone to bias, but the focus on constant research has to be praised. Countless studies support the plaque removal results of the Ultra Professional and how it can help with things like bleeding and inflamed gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waterpik products are often the subject of other clinical tests and both the Oral Health Foundation and the American Dental Association have awarded them their respective approvals. This extra independent verification is reassuring and confirms that the Ultra Professional performs as expected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More nozzles than you need<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7 different nozzle types are supplied with the Ultra Professional.

You\u2019ll get a satisfying click when they are locked into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like that it\u2019s easy for anyone to get up and running immediately because all the tip styles are provided. Yet for the average user, there are going to be lots of tips that will get wasted as they have no use for them. I can\u2019t help thinking it\u2019s a bit wasteful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the lid, to the left hand side, there are 2 holes into which your most used tips can be stored. This is useful if you share a flosser with a family member, for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expensive, but worth it<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a380, or thereabouts should be the price you pay for the Waterpik Ultra Professional, despite the retail price of \u00a389.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shop smart and there might be another \u00a310 to be saved. Unfortunately, there aren't big discounts like there often are on electric toothbrushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 3 years, the flosser will cost around \u00a398, when factoring in replacement nozzles at about \u00a34.5 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is much more expensive than string floss or interdental brushes, which can arguably do just as good a job. But, the premium is often worth paying for the convenience a water flosser brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As competition goes, there isn\u2019t much. Waterpik dominates, in the UK at least. Oral-B and Philips don\u2019t have countertop units.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most alternative options are about two thirds to half the price of the Ultra Professional. In fairness, they are comparably featured and often perform well. But they don\u2019t come with the same support and reputation. Replacement nozzles can be harder to source too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Satisfactory, 2 year warranty included<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2 year warranty is provided with the Ultra Professional. It is average for a product of this type, but Waterpik could do better as an industry leading brand. They are known to offer 3 years on some products, so why not this one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specialising in water flossers, the company's design and production is pretty spot on, but it\u2019s not possible to guarantee reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My own hands-on hasn\u2019t revealed any reasons to be concerned. Parts appear well constructed etc. We\u2019ve also had few complaints from existing users which is reassuring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion: no reason to consider other countertop flossers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">String floss is a considerably more affordable method for cleaning in between your teeth. But, if you\u2019re shopping for a water flosser, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ve struggled to turn it into a regular habit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that\u2019s the case, then the Ultra Professional is a more convenient tool worth considering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn\u2019t have the portability of a cordless flosser, but it offers more customisation and you get great plaque removal results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/best-water-flosser\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3682\">best countertop water flosser <\/a>available today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n    \n        <div id=\"size\" class=\"\">\n\n            <h2 class=\"!mb-4\">Size guide<\/h2>\n\n            <ul class=\"card !mt-0 !p-8\">\n\n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <li>Water Flosser Height With Nozzle - 29cm \/ 11.4 inches<\/li>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <li>Width - 15cm \/ 5.9 inches<\/li>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <li>Depth\/thickness - 13cm \/ 5.1 inches<\/li>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <li>Weight with nozzle (no water) - 813g \/ 28.7oz<\/li>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <li>Package weight - 907g \/ 32oz<\/li>\n\n                    \n                \n            <\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n\n\n    <div id=\"noise\" class=\"\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"!mb-4\">Noise<\/h2>\n\n        <ul class=\"card !mt-0 !p-8\">\n\n            \n                <li>72dB<\/li>\n\n            \n        <\/ul>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div id=\"manufacture\" class=\"\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"!mb-4\">Country of manufacture<\/h2>\n\n        <ul class=\"card !mt-0 !p-8\">\n\n            \n                <li>China<\/li>\n\n            \n        <\/ul>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ultra Professional has all the elements needed to achieve great results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4039880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"post_topic":[1000670],"class_list":["post-7191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-water-flosser-reviews","post_topic-water-flosser","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7191"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4042945,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7191\/revisions\/4042945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4039880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7191"},{"taxonomy":"post_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_topic?post=7191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
